Estelle Mossely Barred from French Boxing Federation Election After Legal Challenge Fails

The Olympic champion's bid to delay the election and validate her candidacy was rejected, leaving the incumbent as the sole candidate.

Estelle Mossely's request to postpone the French Boxing Federation election was denied by the Bobigny judicial court, confirming the election will proceed as scheduled on December 14, 2024.
Her candidacy was invalidated due to a technicality involving a colistière's license status, which did not meet eligibility requirements.
Dominique Nato, the incumbent president, remains the only candidate in the election after Mossely's list was rejected.
Mossely criticized the federation's leadership, describing it as undemocratic and resistant to change, and called for abstention from voting as a form of protest.
The Olympic gold medalist expressed disappointment over the decision, citing concerns about the future of the sport and the broader governance of the federation.
